Variable angle mirror assembly with candle.
6A10.40 • E+40+20

Variable angle mirror assembly with candle. This apparatus demonstrates multiple reflections. There are two mirrors with a common edge. One of the mirrors is fixed, and the other mirror at 'A' swings on hinges at the common edge. The angle between the mirrors can vary from about 45 degrees to 90 degrees. A candle can be positioned between the mirrors, and multiple reflections can be seen. The kaleidoscope works along these principles.
